A jury convicted appellant Shawn Arlin Donley of assault with a deadly weapon (count 1/§ 245, subd. (a)(1))1 and two counts of felony vandalism (counts 2 & 3/§ 594, subd. (b)(1)). In a separate proceeding, the court found true four prior prison term enhancements (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). On appeal, Donley contends his sentence violates: (1) section 654’s prohibition against multiple punishment; and (2) the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy.

On January 17, 2013, Donley made several calls to Floyd during which he told her he wanted to take Floyd a file cabinet that belonged to her. Floyd told him not to come over, that she did not want to be with him anymore, and that he was not welcome on the property. Nevertheless, at around noon that day, Donley drove his truck to see Floyd. Crisan overheard Donley arguing with Floyd in her room and told him to leave, which he eventually did. At approximately 1:00 p.m., Donley returned to Floyd’s residence with her file cabinet in the back of his truck and pushed the cabinet off the truck. As Donley yelled at Floyd through a closed door, Crisan again confronted Donley and told him to leave. Donley replied, “Are you going to make me go, old man?” Crisan replied, “Well, if I have to, I will.” Donley got angrier and started walking toward Crisan, which prompted Crisan to pull out a gun and point it at Donley.
